I saw the comment about the Jiffy Frosting Mux being discontinued but I did not see what to do in its place. Any advice?

After everything else was discontinued I searched and searched for something with the same ingredients. Krusteaz chocolate frosting mix does the trick. I have not found it in stores but Amazon has it in 5 lb boxes

The frosting mix has been discontinued. Bummed as I was really hoping to make this.

I have someone with a nut allergy. Could you substitute with something like chocolate chips? Any other ideas?

Jessica, should the recipe for the glaze be 4-6 tablespoons? I used the glaze recipe for another cake and at 6 teaspoons, it seized up into a ball; it took about two tablespoons more of milk and some heavy whisking to get it into a glaze.

Hello! So after reading your comment, I tried it out again. Definitely not 4-6 T as that would make the glaze far too runny, but I too had some issues with the 4-6 t. With slow adding of liquids and steady whisking, I got a good glaze with 8 t of milk, which is 2 T and 2 t. It worked for me before with the smaller measurements, but I think now that perhaps 6-8 t is a better recommendation. Thanks for trying it out and for the comment!

This cake looks great but I wonder if I could serve it by name at a dinner party with a straight face...

VERY late response, but I can never, ever say the name of this cake out loud without blushing and laughing!.
